Whereas most modern PC games are about running, jumping, fighting and/or killing, Telltale's titles skew toward exploration and puzzle-solving.

Telltale Games reminds me of LucasArts and Sierra On-Line, the pioneering software companies that were synonymous with computer gaming in the 1980s.

I think that’s a real loss for fans of Westeros, though, and I hope that someday, somehow, someone will take it upon themselves to finish Mira’s story in the way that she deserves. Look, I know Telltale’s Game of Thrones wasn’t long for this world and can’t be developed now even if the original creators wanted it to be. Mira Forrester could have absolutely ruined the Lannisters and I’m so upset she never got to meet a Stark. It’s a desperate story of fear and loss, but also one that depicts real empowerment and ruthlessness. Despite the Forresters only being a vague offhand mention in the books, this particular Forrester is one of the strongest characters to ever come from the entire A Song of Ice and Fire universe. While her brothers in Ironrath fumble over who’s supposed to be the next lord, Mira is off in King’s Landing executing political subterfuge as if she’s been nicked straight out of A Clash of Kings. I mean, I haven’t even mentioned Mira yet, the absolute best character in the whole game. They were a small legion of untrained idiots who’d fall on their own swords sooner than swing them.
If you’ve read the books, you’ll know what I’m on about - the Sons of the Harpy weren’t some kind of super organized rebel militia. Barristan Selmy, the one guy feared by both Ned Stark and Jaime Lannister - let’s have him wrecked by a dozen lads who are holding a dagger for the first time in their lives. That’s before we even mention that season six had to do a whole lot of heavy lifting to redeem the atrocious season five, where still-alive-in-the-books Ser Barristan Selmy was killed off by a bunch of thugs so Grey Worm and Missandei could have their shite romance nobody cared about. I love this series, this universe - but in the absence of The Winds of Winter, Telltale’s adaptation of its world was far superior to HBO post-season six. I’ve got an edition of A Feast for Crows in the most gorgeous red slipcase you’ll ever see, and I’ve seen The Mountain and the Viper about 500 times. It wasn’t so much a “tune in next week!” as it was, like… “Well, that was shit - do I want to know what happens next?” Of course you do. That last episode cliffhanger after leaving one of the two eldest Forrester brothers to die was delivered with real elegance. Asher Forrester’s return to Ironrath wasn’t greeted by a parade of jesters and trumpeteers - it was solemn, bleak, and ultimately bittersweet. Ramsay killing Ethan wasn’t some sort of gory bloodfest so much as it was pure, quiet villainy. When Telltale wrote Game of Thrones, it took influence from these single standout moments - not the biggest battles or the wildest drama, but the evocative, slow-burning stuff.
